Did you know? - NWT Syderstone Common is one of only two inland sites in the UK where the rare natterjack toad is still found. As they need both chalky water and sandy soil in which to thrive, natterjacks are more usually found on coastal dunes. The males emerge from burrows at dusk and call in a chorus to attract females. Natterjacks can be identified by the yellow stripe running the length of its back. Please note - that it is illegal to handle, disturb or photograph natterjack toads and great crested newts without a licence. The pools here are temporary and are directly connected to the underlying chalk aquifer. They are perfectly suited to the natterjacks because water starts to appear in late winter, peaking in May when the toads breed, and falling away in autumn.SyderstoneKing's LynnNorfolkPE31 8SFUnited Kingdom52.8606557965000.716874672700http://www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk
